How They Won the War in the Pacific: Nimitz and His Admirals - Edwin P. Hoyt

Descriere How They Won the War in the Pacific: Nimitz and His Admirals - Edwin P. Hoyt

\nThis meticulous study is a concentrated look at naval admiral Chester W. Nimitz and his subordinate leaders--military men under stress--and the relationship of fighting admirals to their top leaders and one another. Bull Halsey, the Patton of the Pacific, could win a battle; ascetic and cultivated Raymond Spruance could win a campaign; but Chester W. Nimitz, the quiet but dauntless battler from the banks of the Pedernales River, could win a war. And the way he did win that war in the Pacific is the center of this excellent and absorbing biography of naval operations and of men in command relationships.\n \nHow They Won the War in the Pacific covers many leaders, including the top fighting ones afloat and ashore, and it shows Admiral Nimitz as history will record him--as the wise, calm tower of strength in adversity and success, the principal architect of victory in the Pacific during World War II.\n \n \nMore than 80 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor, this is the classic book about the principal architects of victory in the Pacific during World War II.\n \n\n \n\n \nThis meticulous study is a concentrated look at naval admiral Chester W.
